**Charlie Benante to Miss Upcoming Anthrax Shows in Europe Due to Hand Injury; Darby Todd Steps In**

In a bittersweet turn of events for Anthrax fans, drummer Charlie Benante will be sidelined for nearly a dozen shows in Europe after injuring his right hand. This unfortunate injury comes just as the band gears up for a series of highly anticipated performances across the continent.

Stepping into the spotlight in Benante’s absence is U.K.-based session drummer Darby Todd. Todd isn’t new to the gig; he recently filled in for Benante during Anthrax’s May 23 performance at the iconic Olympiastadion. His impressive drumming skills and experience with a variety of rock acts make him a solid choice to keep the rhythm alive while Benante recuperates.

Fans can expect an electrifying experience as Anthrax continues their tour, albeit with a temporary lineup adjustment. The band is known for their high-energy performances, and with Todd on board, they’re sure to maintain that hard-hitting sound that thrash metal fans crave.

We wish Charlie a speedy recovery and can’t wait to see him back behind the kit. Stay tuned for updates as Anthrax takes the stage in Europe with the ever-talented Darby Todd filling in!
